The ACP applauds the government for tabling this long‐awaited legislation. We wish to acknowledge the significant progress represented by many of its provisions, and also to express our concerns over others that could prove damaging to the revenues of small‐ and medium‐sized publishers and, ultimately, to their viability. We look forward to discussing ways in which Bill C‐32 can be clarified and amended to ensure a positive climate for the production and dissemination of Canadian cultural and educational content.
